Any way to show translation between languages?

Greetings!

My friend is playing PoE in german, I'm playing in english...
There's always confusion when anyone wants to tell something about a specific gem, item or so.

For example: I want to tell him about the Dash gem, but I'm clueless what it's called in german.

Is there any way to show a quick translation, like when pressing a hotkey it shows both english and german description?

Or any other solution to this language barrier?

Thank you and with best regards

No forum tool afaik, but google translate works just fine.

Schöne Grüße!

Mein Freund spielt PoE in Deutsch, ich spiele in Englisch ...
Es gibt immer Verwirrung, wenn jemand etwas über einen bestimmten Edelstein, Gegenstand oder dergleichen erzählen möchte.

Zum Beispiel: Ich möchte ihm von dem Dash-Juwel erzählen, aber ich weiß nicht, wie es auf Deutsch heißt.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, eine schnelle Übersetzung anzuzeigen, z. B. wenn Sie einen Hotkey drücken, wird sowohl die englische als auch die deutsche Beschreibung angezeigt?

Oder eine andere Lösung für diese Sprachbarriere?

Vielen Dank und mit freundlichen Grüßen
Norac

It didn't translate Dash. :D
Google translator probably doesn't know how things were translated in PoE.

Unfortunately my friend is playing on PS4 and I'm on PC, so there's no way to just link an item in the chat.

There are those PoE Wiki pages, but they also don't have a translation - when you type in Dash in german Wiki, there are no results...

GGG should have a list of their own for internal use (localization) but I don't think they will make that available.

So the only public official list is the one we can find here: https://www.pathofexile.com/item-data. Just change the forum language to access the translated version. If I have the time, I also sometimes use the official trade site.

Link the gem in chat. He'll see it in German.
Hovering over it, he'll also see all of the stats and stuff.

Probably "Eile" or some sort.

You could go on a merry adventure and reinstall PoE in German. Sadly that doesn't reset all the voice acting in the game to German. Imagine catching Guff and interrogating him, but instead of his pirate jargon, he blabs in a heavily salted, tobacco-stained Hamburg mumble. Cameria would be some sort of abominable mountain man living in a snow break and you would have to clean the Hohe Tauern or the Matterhorn out of your headphones afterwards.

No need. Just switch the language to German. I don't recommend it, though. I think the translation is awkward.

i know right? When I looked at the Spanish game it seemed like they had not only used Google Translate, but used it again on the way back.
